The ramp from eastbound I-70 to northbound Security Boulevard will close at 9am Tuesday. The ramp will remain closed 24 hours a day for about six weeks.

The State Highway Administration says that the temporary ramp closure will allow BGE crews to safely relocate an underground gas line in preparation for the Maryland Transit Administration's Red Line project.

Weather permitting; the ramp will reopen late October.

While the detour is in effect, motorists traveling from eastbound I-70 to northbound Security Boulevard and the Social Security Administration complex will drive past the ramp to the end of I-70, turn around at the Park and Ride lot onto westbound I-70, and turn right at the first ramp to reach northbound Security Boulevard.

The SHA advises motorists traveling in the Woodlawn area of Baltimore County to anticipate delays and plan ahead for extra travel time.
